Part Number: EAM0001

Details: Made completely from wood. Will not break or be ruined easily. People living with dementia will experience difficulties with their sight and perception as a result of their condition and the natural aging process. Difficulties with sight and perception can cause people to misinterpret the world around them, further fuelling the confusion and isolation they’re already feeling. Shapes and Shape cutouts on the sticks are both the same color. Thus helping the elderly to see better. This way the game can also help boost a person's self-esteem when they can do this puzzle by themselves.
